1. I've always liked Canada

Smart people, eh!

:)

3. Question #4. is a let down though.

[gula]

7. It sure is

One reason I heard, and it was told to me with a straight face, is that Saddam was paying 25 000$ to Palestinian suicide bombers. I was flabbergasted, to say the least. It does point out though that to many, people of other races, creeds, etc. are of no value.

[Nevernose]

8. Saddam really WAS paying suicide bombers

...in Palestine. Actually, he was paying their families. It was on 60 Minutes, and fascinating (and creepy) watching a father say something like, "Well, I will miss my son, but my daughter can now go to private school, and we just bought a new TV."

9. Yes I know but

what do the thousands of Iraquis that have been killed to do with it?

2. Most of the world dislikes Bush.

4. Those positive responses for #2

are my farming in-laws in Alberta.

An exact quote from an aunt by marriage, upon learning that I'd become very involved in politics back home...
"Well, I like Bush. At least he's got more backbone than Chretien."

I think my jaw hit the floor in horrified shock.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

5. Yeah, but even here, he's not as popular as you might think.

[Tommy_Douglas]

6. Chretien must have had some balls...

To take a pass on the Iraq adventure...

10. Actual e-mail to FOX news:Canadians hate President Bush because...

he loves America, Canadians love Democrats because they hate America.
